• Windows Forms Why is Form Height 31 pixels when minimized?

  hi, i have my main form starting minimized. I programatically increase the size of the form in response to certain events, but unfortunately the "Form.Height" property is only 31 pixels when minimized, instead of about 250 which is what it is when restored. Fair enough the form is not visible on screen and as such may not have a 'height', so this is probably "by design" but i'm wondering is there a way to read what i call the 'true' height of the form, regardless of whether it is minimized or not thanks in advance for any help tim. Yes, check the window state. You can monitor the Resi ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't precompile script

  Hi, with a script task I get an error "This task is configured to pre-compile the script but the binary code is not found. Please visit the IDE in Script Task editor by clicking Desing Script button to cause binary code to be generated". Well, if I do so the error doesn't disappear. The only chance I have is to switch of precopilation, which is quite a performance issue... I have no idea where this error is comming from... The script is quite easy, just some string and file operations (find out file change date using system.io)... Any idea as i guessed...SP1 solves this problem...worked for me... i had a new local ...Show All

• Visual Basic Console Applications and Event Handling?

  I am porting an existing VB .NET application into a console (no-gui) application so that it may be run without any user input other than command line parameters. In doing so I do not seem to get any Event handling mechanism.

When running my console application I do not see any events... Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

• Windows Forms ListView Question

  Hi folks. I've been playing around with ListView's for the first time and I'm having troubles getting my head around ListViewSubItems. Basically, I'm wondering if there's any way to add and/or change a sub-item by just specifying it's column and row numbers listView1.Items[Row].SubItems[Column] Will give you the ListViewSubItem at row/column. Keep in mind that the SubItems[0] actually is ListViewItem itself. To add you will have to do it in the order you want them to appear. listView1.Items.Add("Row1"); listView1.Items[0].SubItems.Add("Sub item 1.1"); listView1.Items.Add(&quo ...Show All

• Visual C# Image/Button Pt.2

   Ok. I've already had this question answered and I am very grateful. But what I want is still not accomplished. What I want is kind of like putting a square as the background for a form. And changing the transparent key properties to make the form as if it had rounded edges. I want the samet thing with a button. For example, say if I wanted to put a circle for a button. How would I do that. Also, I would like to kind of look like flash. Once the mouse hovers over the button, for it to change color. I've seen many programs like this, and figure it is posible. Please, can someone help. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying Int values as Hex in datagridview

  Hi all, desperation has forced me to my first post! I am writing a network analyzer and need the option to display my int variables as Hex values for a number of databound datagridviews, (a la) debugger. I can ToString("X") but it would mean having a string equivalent for all my ints! As I am binding to bindinglist of a managed class.(bindinglist<class^>) C++ Started using .Net only 4 months ago so am hoping that my lack of knowledge is the problem to finding an easy solution. While I am asking, how can I force zero filling on conversion to Hex, should ToString("4X") give me 4 Hex Digits. It would ...Show All

• .NET Development How to add a node with prefix?

  Hi, I'm a C# newbie, and I'm trying to create an "apsx" file on-the-fly. I had some success, but my code isn't working when I try to add a node with prefix, like "<asp:Menu>". Basically, I am doing something like this: XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); ... xmlDoc.CreateElement("asp", "Menu", null ); xmlDoc.Save("myAspx.aspx");   The code works fine. No exception appers, and in fact, the file is generated. But, when I open it, it looks like: <Menu> </Menu> It ignores my prefix. What's wrong It's correct to use XmlDocument to do something like this TIA, Bob I think you meant to say you got:  &nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP Sockets checking aliveness

  Hi, I have an app where it is critical that any connection interruption between the server and the client is immediately noticed. Right now I'm using a "ping packet" that I send to the server and the server sends it back. If it's not returned within time x and the server hasn't received a new one within time x the client assumes it's disconnected or the server disconnects the client. However, since I'm sometimes sending large objects over the socket which can take a couple seconds to transmit I can't send a ping packet every 3 seconds or so as it then would time out since the socket might be blocked while sending a larger object.
